I never said to not read the book or learn the maths. They are obviously important. I apologize if I sounded dismissive. But I've met people in my field that are great at the maths (which should be a given), but can't execute the analysis because they can't do simple "janitorial" tasks. Perhaps this is a problem more prevalent in academia. I think there should be equal attention paid to both aspects of the job.
- yummyfajitas 10y agoI absolutely agree that a data scientist must be a good software engineer also. But there are lots of books on software engineering. There are lots of books on algorithms. As far as I'm aware this book is one of a kind. This book covers ground that nothing else does, at least not in any comprehensive way.
